What is CrossFit?

CrossFit workouts are comprised of constantly varied functional movements (like running, rowing, jumping, pushing, pulling, and squatting) executed at high intensity. Our training methods produce instant and unparalleled results for all levels of fitness; from children to elite athletes, and everything in between.
